First, I thank my God In this opening phrase, Paul sets a tone of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. The Greek word for "thank" is "εὐχαριστῶ" (eucharistō), which conveys a deep sense of gratitude and is the root of the word "Eucharist," reflecting a heart of worship and thanksgiving. Paul’s use of "my God" personalizes his relationship with the divine, emphasizing a personal and intimate connection with the Creator, which is foundational in Christian faith. through Jesus Christ for all of you because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world To the modern reader who does not make an effort to enter into the mind of the Apostle, the language of these verses, may seem too high-pitched for the occasion. It is not easy to realise the intensity with which St. Paul felt on what in any degree, however small, affected the spiritual life of those who acknowledged the same Master that he did. He had few of those petty distractions that we have. The whole force of his rich and impressible nature was concentrated upon this one subject; and his expressions reflect the state of tension in which he felt himself to be. Thus it is that they take a solemnity and earnestness to which an ordinary correspondence would not attain. (8) I thank my God through Jesus Christ.--How can the Apostle be said to thank God through Jesus Christ? Christ is, as it were, the medium through whom God has been brought into close relation to man. Hence all intercourse between God and man is represented as passing through Him. He is not only the divine Logos by whom God is revealed to man, but He is also the Head of humanity by whom the tribute of thanks and praise is offered to God. Throughout the whole world.--A hyperbole, which is the more natural as the Apostle is speaking of Rome, the centre and metropolis of the world as he knew it. Verses 8-17. - B. Introduction, in which the writer expresses his strong interest in the Roman Church, his long-cherished desire to visit it, and the grounds of this desire. Verse 8. - First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of (rather, proclaimed) in the whole world. We observe here, as in other Epistles, St. Paul's way of beginning with complimentary language, and expression of thankfulness for the good he knew of in his readers. He thus intimates at the outset his own good feeling towards them, and predisposes them to take in good part any animadversions that may follow. "The whole world" is not, of course, to be taken literally, but as a phrase denoting general notoriety. Similarly in 1 Thessalonians 1:8, ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ. Any considerable number of converts in so important a place as Rome would be likely to become notorious in all Christian circles, and even outside them might have already begun to attract attention.Parallel Commentaries ...
